the '02 model has the new longer swingarm with some other slight suspension changes that makes the bike handle a bit better. A much better package so I'm told.
All RC's have too much stock trail, which makes an already heavy bike handle even heavier. But all that built in trail is what makes it such a carver !! When leaned over the thing is simply on rails!!!!!!!!!!
You can easily shim the rear shock (raise rear ride height) and make the bike easier to turn, and makes it feel a bit lighter on it's feet. But let's face it, its a 460lb bike, so it's never gonna be as nimble as your R6. But when the corner speeds pick up, the RC is in it's element
Rc51 color scheme?
